Steps of making sachets

The steps of making a pouch are as follows:

1. Material preparation: prepare a square red cloth and a lanyard. Put the lanyard in the middle of the cloth, fold it into a triangle and sew it, leaving small holes on both sides.

2. Add wormwood: turn it over from a small mouth, and then put the prepared wormwood and spices in.

3. Sewing with needle and thread: Sew the small mouth on the left side with a needle, and sew the corner into the middle of the sachet to fix it, so that the corner will become warped.

4. Make the shape of the sachet: sew a thread in the middle of the sachet with a needle and thread, and tie the thread tightly to make a gourd sachet.

This kind of sachet is also called flannel, box, box, Xiang Ying and Pei Wei. Today is called purse, playing with goods and shorting. It is a folk embroidery handicraft created by working women in ancient China. It is the product of China ancient farming culture marked by men plowing and women weaving, and it is the remains and regeneration of China traditional culture that has lived for thousands of years. The sachet was first called smelly.

In Qu Yuan's Li Sao, there are two kinds of spices, namely, Hu Jiangfen and Bi Xi Zhi, and Qiu Lan thinks she is admirable. At that time, the spices were Bizhi and Qiu Lan. In the Ming dynasty, there were still smelly names. Traditional sachets in China are mostly made of silk and filled with realgar, smoked grass, mugwort and other spices. It is said that sachets can ward off evil spirits, so they will be hung on the Dragon Boat Festival. In 2008, it was selected into the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage expansion projects.
